Makalu Reigon Trek
Makalu lies in the north east region of Nepal and is a close neighbour to Mount Everest. Despite it being the fifth tallest among the eight thousanders, the mountain is still virtually 'new'. It was first climbed by a French Team led by Jean Franco in 1955. Trekkers can enjoy both Hindus and Buddhist culture. Magnificent view over Mt.Everest, Mt. Makalu, Mt. Kanchanjunga etc. can be seen. This mountain is an impressive mass of red granite. The French were the first to reach the Makalu summit back in 1955, a ear after the Americans set off for the first ever attempt on the mountain. Our trek follows one of the most remote and unfrequented areas of Nepal. Starting at Tumlingtar plateau just above the Arun River, we walk through the snow, rain and cloud prone Kauma. We take pleasure in both Hindu and Buddhist cultural environments, all while admiring the majestic backdrop of Mount Everest, Mount Makalu, Mount Kanchanjunga and other 8,000 meter peaks. Not only do we get the chance to admire the sheer size and red-granite beauty of Makalu, often overlooked despite being the fifth highest of the 8,000 meter peaks, we can also feast our eyes on some stunning natural sights. The Makalu base camp trek is the most popular trek in the region, and the Makalu circuit trek is perfect for those looking for an extended experience in a wild environment. You will find that lodging and transportation in the region are generally of a high quality. Make sure you secure you trekking insurance and permits prior to your adventure. To ensure a safe trip, it is essential to take into account the current weather conditions and prepare an appropriate trekking and map.
